#renderpasses

Swords, Grimm, and light falloff for days.

Hey Everyone!

-So as of now, everybody who has currently volunteered to be an extra should have received their lines, and should try to aim to send the lines to me by February 1st.

-As for Production Updates, I am just waiting on final critique for the script to make final changes to, then I will send out lines to the voice actors, and begin animation.

-This test is just me experimenting with poses to see if I can get a good dynamic pose.

All Models were modeled, textured, rigged, and posed/animated by me. All "Jade" Characters belong to me I do not own RWBY, all ownership belong to Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth Productions

If you're interested in seeing my Animations, my YouTube Channel is here:

A Reel made in after effects and wrote in spanish for a university project , at the end says “Reel edited in Adobe premiere using the graphic package form after effects”.

Using the read node in our node graph I imported my EXR image sequence from Maya and attached this to the viewer.

We then have to create our shuffle nodes which allows us to add and alter our render passes so I created 5 and labelled them accordingly. 

Error: We realised that not all of the model was showing in the render passes as we didn’t use a mia material x passes material to attach out texture to rather than a blinn, therefor these materials didn’t render out with the passes. Unfortunately, the only way to fix this was to re-attach the textures to a mia material passes and re-render is all out of Maya which wasted alot of time.

For these to come into affect we have to use merge nodes set at over and overlay for Ambient Occlusion.

We then have to add grade and saturation nodes where we can then change different settings such as gain, gamma, offset and colour.

These shots above are the different Render passes that we can adjust to make the object look better without having to re-render the entire clip in Maya.

Below is the final screenshot of the node graph showing the different nodes we used to bring this shot to life. I added a blur and radial node to help give our clip an older look and fit in the scene more, this is then attached to a merge layer which we added an old projector film effect to the scene.

I then added another grade and saturation node for these to colour grade the entire scene as a whole which is then connect to a merge layer that connects with the render pass nodes.

Here I was ready to render out my shots starting in Maya, we select our objects lights and IBL and put them into a render layer but making sure the IBL’s primary visibility is turned off in attribute editor.

We then go into our render settings the correct render layer is selected and also mental ray which should already be selected.

OpenEXR must be the Image format as this attaches the render passes to the images. We also must turn final gathering and ambient occlusion in to enhance out lighting and render passes.

Here I went to the passes tab and added our render passes which were Ambient Occlusion, Diffuse, Reflection, Refraction and Specular.
